RE: Ordering Others to Do Bad Things: Who is to Blame?

in #authority7 years ago

I was just following orders didn’t help people in the warcrimes trials after WW2. But history gives us plenty of examples of those who followed illegal orders being held accountable while those who issued them got off (cough) Dick Cheney (cough).

Sort:  

Yes, follow bad orders you get approval from the higher up authority. If you do bad things without approval sometimes you get a slap on the wrist, sometimes you get in deep shit :P
